One aim of your two editors, Susan Slack and me, is to capture LDEI history 20-22 Sessions as it happens. The Quarterly itself is an archive of the organization. Helping us capture that history in this conference issue are Dames from more than 20 different 23 Grande Dame Dinner chapters who reported on all the events and sessions. As you page through this issue, note the bylines to see who they are. Add to them many more Dames who sent in DEPARTMENTS photos, Chapter News, Member Milestones, and other current information. Next year at the Boston Conference, the New York 24-26 Chapter News Chapter will be 38 years old. Our newest chapter, Bir- mingham, will be one year old. Older chapters have much 28-29 Member Milestones experience and history to share with new chapters and those yet to be chartered. Let this be a call to all: Preserve 31 Submission Guidelines your history for posterity so the lessons of Dames who have gone before can benefit those to come.

Our Co-Chairs Gina Burchenal and Denice Woods, Austin Chapter President Cathy Strange, and their committees of hard-working Dames had promised the biggest, most exciting and successful conference ever, with lots of Southern hospitality—and that’s exactly what they delivered! You’ll find summaries and snap- shots of happenings from more than 20 Dames in this issue. The memories are nonstop!For many, the first day kicked off early, with tours around and nearby Austin: an in-service experience on national Food Day; visits to unique urban, locally owned farms; tastes of some popular Austin food-truck treasures; and legendary Salt Lick BBQ and Texas wines in the Hill Country. Learning was nonstop, too. At our Chapter Leadership Forum, we learned how to run our chapters like businesses and “speed- dated” topics of importance to chapter leaders. At the Don’t Drown in Digital workshop, we heard about “taking control and creating a customized digital routine that works for you.” We were reminded how to put the customer back into customer service… learned from the pros how to craft your own cookbook… experienced, step-by-step, turning a tamale into a “hero” at a professional food- photography shoot… and tasted the unlikely pairings of beer and cheese. Networking with Dames was an added benefit for all, especially during the fabulous events! We wined and dined at the Dames Across Texas extravaganza… we took a trip South of the Border for a fabuloso Fiesta, serenaded by a mariachi band (all ladies!)… and then proudly toasted our 2013 Grande Dame, Dolores Cake- bread, winemaking-and-culinary visionary extraordinaire, at the celebratory dinner our last evening in Austin. A perfect ending to our 27th Annual Conference! Our thanks go to our 19 part- ners who gener- ously support our organization all year, espe- cially at confer- ence.

Its importance is almost incalculable, and it should re- ceive every reasonable encouragement. It is not our intention in this manual, ' OUR NATIVE GRAPE," to make known new theories, but to improve on those already in practice. Since the publication ot former works on this subject a great many changes have taken place ; new destructive diseases have ap- peared, insects, so detrimental to Grapevines, have increased, making greater vigilance and study neces- sary. / New varieties of Grapes have sprung up with great rapidity Many labor-saving tools have been introduced, in fact. Grape culture of the present time is a vast improvement on the Grape culture of years ago. The material herein contained has been gathered by the assistance of friends all over the country in all parts of the United States, and compiled and arranged that not alone our own ex- perience, but that of the best experts in the country, may serve as a guide to the advancement of Grape culture. We have spared neither time or expense to make this work as complete as possible. With all our efforts, however, we feel compelled to ask forbearance for our shortcom- ings and mild judgment for our imperfections.

  • History of Grape Growing in the Eastern United States
    History of Grape Growing in the Eastern United States By Fred Elmer Gladwin 1931 Reproduced in 2007 from the original work which was published in eleven parts in Rural New Yorker in 193 1. Fred Elmer Gladwin (1 877-1940) was a well regarded expert in viticulture. In 1909 he was appointed a special agent of the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station (NYSAES) and put in charge of the Vineyard Laboratory at Fredonia, NY which came into existence that same year. Later he was made associate in research at the NYSAES, and in 1936 was made chief in research in Pomology, a position he held at the time of his death. His entire period of service with the Experiment Station was spent at the Vineyard Laboratory. This series of columns he authored in 1931 on the history of grape growing in the Eastern United States has been brought together here in an effort to give more prominence to a small part of his work. The citations for the work as it originally appeared are listed here: Gladwin, F.E., "A History of Grape Growing in Eastern United States: Part I," Rural New Yorker, vol.XC, no.5 156,18 April 1931, page 485-486.

  • A Review of Cold Climate Grape Cultivars
    A Review of Cold Climate Grape Cultivars Introduction There has been interest in growing grapes in the upper Midwest and other cold climate regions of North America. One of the problems growers face in these regions is selecting cultivars (cultivated varieties) that will withstand severe winters, mature in short growing seasons, and be productive. As grape acreage increases in cold climate regions, too often cultivar selections are being made based upon testimonial or anecdotal information. With the high costs of vineyard establishment there is an increasing need for a standard reference to assist growers in selecting best adapted cultivars. According to Dr. Gail Nonnecke at Iowa State University; “When selecting grape cultivars to grow, one must consider the characteristics of the fruit as well as the vine. The vines have to be adapted to local growing conditions and the fruit must meet our needs.” This project was undertaken to develop a reference that will be useful for selecting grape cultivars to plant in cold climates. Such a reference should document and standardize origin, viticulture characteristics, disease and pest resistance, cold hardiness, and wine quality characteristics. Specific objectives of the project were to assemble information on: The origin of the cultivars including: synonyms; pedigree; county or state of origin, breeder and institution; date of cross and release or introduction into the U.S.; and type. Viticultural and fruit characteristics including: growth habit and vigor; time of bud break and productivity on secondary buds; days from bloom to harvest; specific cultural concerns; and cluster and berry characteristics. Pest concerns including: a standardized ranking of susceptibility to disease; specific pest concerns, sensitivity to sulfur, copper and other pesticides; and sensitivity to grow regulator herbicide drift (2,4-D and dicamba).
